Hi mandopickers,
I've had a Sawchyn A-5 for the past 12 years. It's a beauty. However, I finally have to admit it's too bright for my taste. I use heavy Wegen picks and heavy strings (Newtones or J75s) to try to tame the treble. I pick around the 15th fret and hit the strings with the flattest part of the pick.
It's still too bright. I'm looking for a warmer tone, with less snap.
Any thoughts? Is there a different direction I can go with strings?
Thanks,
Al
